It's a Wonderful Life.. when George is in the bar Xmas Eve... "Lord, I'm not a praying man, but if you're up there, show me the way..."
Frances (with Jessica Lange, about Frances Farmer, the 1930s movie star who had a lobotomy)... whole damn movie Dancer in the Dark... pretty much the whole movie... cried for days afterward Sophie's Choice... yes. Awful. East of Eden... when James Dean tries to give the money he made from speculation to his father and his father rejects it... OMG I could go on and on. I'm tearing up right now. |

LUCAS. When Lucas opens his locker, and there is a HS letter jacket w/ his name on it, and all the students are clapping for Lucas, and he is in disbelief
FLASHDANCE. When Jennifer Heals has that amazing performance in from of all of the judges.....when her old lady friend dies... And when she runs op to her boyfriend at the last scene....and that song. "First. When there is nothing..." SOUND OF MUSIC. WHen they have just escaped..last scene...and are on the mountain, singing "Climb every mountain..." CANNOT BUY ME LOVE. When the guy is talking about falling out of the tree, and his friend carried him all the way home. ET flying home. When Mary Poppin's comes back. Charlotte's Web ...so many good ones! |

My daughter loves the new Parent Trap. The bridal studio scene with Natasha Richardson always made me teary, even more so since she died.
Kids book -- Velveteen Rabbit. |

Older version of Ice Castles....ending performance when she lands her triple.
Last glancing smile that Frodo Baggins makes to his hobbit friends as he leaved on the ship with the elves. And the endings of all the Rocky movies get me every time!! |

And speaking of Lord of the Rings....probably the last hour of the last movie of the trilogy...when all the people bow down to the hobbits and say "My friends, you bow to no one".
Also when Aragon sees Arwen after he is crowned and they kiss. The goodbye scene when they sail off is probably the saddest scene for me. After I watched it last time, I think it set me off into 10 minutes of crying. |

Dr. Zhivago... when he sees Lara on the street and gets off the streetcar and tries to run after her. Then he has a heart attack and drops dead and she doesn't even know, just keeps walking down the street b/c she didn't see him. All of this with that tragic music playing.
OMG I could start bawling right now. |

| I haven't seen it in years, but I always used to cry at the scene in Legends of the Fall when Brad Pitt's character finally returns home and his dad (Anthony Hopkins) has had a stroke so he can't speak, but he writes on the chalkboard around his neck "Am Happy." Now that I have 3 sons it will probably be even worse if I watch it! |

OMG YES!! My dad would watch that movie all the time and that scene is just so sad. After reading all these posts about Sophie's Choice, I looked it up on IMdB...yeah, no possible way I'm watching that. Thanks for the head's up! |

God I know I must have a lot, many of which have been referenced here:
-Love actually opening scene -Life is beautiful, the whole thing -Crash, the scene where the little girl almost gets shot/where sandra bullock realizes she is a terrible person/where the kid gets shot for no reason -Fried green tomatoes, deaths of ruth and the first boy -With honors, when the old guy tries to go die alone like a dog, then when he does really die -My girl, funeral scene -The green mile, where he says he just wants to see the movie, and he is tired of living |
